Chapter 311: Everyone’s Doubts

[ Eh, I thought Xia Wanyuan was going to act in ‘The Moon Palace’. ]

[ You’re thinking too much. ‘Above the Moon Palace’ is such a large production. How can Xia Wanyuan act in it? Although her role as the Heavenly Spirit Princess was alright, it shouldn’t have soared so quickly. ]

[ Let me say this quietly. I think she’s more suitable than Bai Lian. At least she’s prettier than Bai Lian. ]

[ I just received news that Xia Wanyuan had accepted a script for a small production. It’s a domestic drama. ]

[ The difference is too great. Could it be that Xia Wanyuan was not selected by ‘Above the Moon Palace’ and could only act in ‘Moon As Frost’? ]

Soon, the official Weibo account of “Moon As Frost” released an official announcement about the main lead. Everyone took a look and saw that it was really Xia Wanyuan.

Netizens who were up to no good ran to flip through the creative team of “Moon As Frost”. Not only was the male lead not confirmed, but even the filming team was not in position. They had adapted a civil country novel.

Civil country dramas had been very popular a few years ago, but in recent years, everyone had realized that many television dramas had used the excuse of a Civil Country drama to film scenes of modern love where one hated the other. It was extremely melodramatic.

Furthermore, country dramas had a specific background of the era. In order to pursue visual aesthetic, many television dramas did not put in the effort to study the clothes of the country. Instead, they directly wore western suits and dresses.

As a result, when the audience saw the country drama, the words “melodramatic, crude” automatically appeared in their minds.

[ Emmmm, although Xia Wanyuan isn’t good enough for a big production like ‘Moon Palace’, she shouldn’t be so cheap as to accept such a production. ]

[ Forgive me for being direct, but I’ve never seen this director or this novel before. It’s actually a domestic drama. Xia Wanyuan shouldn’t be in such a miserable state, right? ]

[ I laugh. Xia Wanyuan is quite brave. Now that the reputation of the country drama is so bad, she actually dares to accept it. Furthermore, it’s a drama without a big director or production. I really admire her courage. ]

[ It’s rare for me to have a female celebrity I like, but in the end, she doesn’t care about her feathers at all. Forget it, forget it. I won’t like her. I won’t be worried in the future. ]

[ The person in front, stop acting as a fan. I believe in Yuan Yuan’s taste anyway. Since she has decided to film ‘Moon As Frost’, she must have her reasons. You people, don’t come back and praise our Yuan Yuan for acting well. Hmph. ]

Because of the commotion caused by this casting, basically no one in the industry was optimistic about Xia Wanyuan accepting “Moon As Frost”.

Shen Qian’s management and management ability were indeed very strong. It hadn’t been long before Shen Qian had already firmly grasped control of the entire company and eliminated the old people from Xia Yuanqing’s era.

The Xia family company, this old company, was now ready to go with Shen Qian, and the Moon Bay project was the first big battle this new company was going to fight.

Xia Wanyuan had originally planned to go for an inspection after the old master’s birthday banquet. Because of a problem with the local construction project, Xia Wanyuan had no choice but to consider going to the Moon Bay project for a field trip before the old master’s birthday banquet.

Xia Wanyuan, who was studying the information on the Moon Bay project, had no time to care about the commotion online.

————

Continent F was different from China’s mountains and rivers. It was peaceful and peaceful, and this place was covered in the dark clouds of war all year round.

The sound of explosions could be heard from time to time. The people walking barefoot on the street seemed to be used to such a life.

“Bang!” An explosion resounded in the northwest. The largest slum in Continent F sounded. People only glanced at it in surprise before returning to calm.

Chapter 312: Yan Ci Male Lead

“Boss, Poison Scorpion 1 has been successfully tested.”

In the presidential suite of the Yangfan Hotel, Jayce was reporting to the man in the room respectfully.

“Try it.” The man’s cold voice sounded with a hint of casual laziness.

“Are we still going to try the river in Chary?” Jayce asked carefully.

“No, try it there.” The man pointed at the window with his fingertips and narrowed his long eyes.

Jayce looked in the direction where Old K pointed with his finger. The red stars were shining in the sunlight. Jayce’s gaze turned cold. The consequences of this attempt would be huge.

However, the boss’s orders were everything. The man in front of them had led the entire underground kingdom to its current position. Any orders from him had the ability to make them absolutely believe and obey.

“Yes, Boss. I’ll go down first.” Jayce bowed and prepared to leave.

“Wait, pack up and come back with me.”

“Yes, Boss.”

In the sky, pure white wings whistled as they streaked across the blue sky and white clouds. In the endless clearness, the largest storm was nurtured.

————

“Are you useless?! We haven’t found out anything even until now. Get lost!”

Ever since she came back from the bar, Shi Tian had been locking herself in her room and not contacting anyone. She did not even see Liu Xingchuan.

“Miss, we have some clues. That night at the bar, someone saw the Third Miss of the Wei family and the people around her approaching the cup where you drank. We’ve checked and found the fingerprints of their group on that cup.”

“The Wei family? Continue to investigate. Don’t let anyone off.” Shi Tian’s voice gradually calmed down with a hint of ruthlessness.

“Yes, Miss. We also discovered that Xia Wanyuan and Tang Yin had once appeared around the bar that night.”

“Tang Yin?” When Shi Tian heard this name, her heart was filled with ferocity.

Yes, she must have done it. Now, my computer still has photos of Tang Yin from back then. Tang Yin must have used the same method to take revenge on me!!

Thinking that she, the dignified Second Miss of the Shi family, had actually been schemed by this little slut Tang Yin, Shi Tian was furious. It was really my mistake for not killing her back then!

Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered, Shi Tian clenched her fists. She wanted Tang Yin and Xia Wanyuan to suffer a fate worse than death.

————

Ever since the production team of “Moon As Frost” announced Xia Wanyuan, more male leads had come to audition, but Li Heng was not satisfied.

Qin Wu wanted to work with Xia Wanyuan for another drama and tried to send a resume to the production team, but he was stopped by his assistant, who threatened to slit his throat.

Currently, there were only three male leads that were selected for the production team of “Moon As Frost”. Furthermore, Li Heng and Yang Jiu were not especially satisfied.

This drama was their chance to turn the tables. Moreover, Xia Wanyuan trusted them so much, so they wanted to do their best in every detail.

The male and female lead were the souls of a drama. The other soul was still not confirmed, and the two of them were extremely anxious.

At that moment, an unexpected call came in.

Even though the other party had repeatedly guaranteed that he was not a liar, Li Heng still could not believe it until he agreed to an audition with the other party.

Seeing the elegant man walk in,

Li Heng pinched himself hard. Only then did he believe that it was not a dream.

Yan Ci?

Yan Ci!!!!!!

Yan Ci was actually auditioning for the male lead of my drama?!! Did I step into a dogshit pit these two days?!

Chapter 313: The Princess Wearing a Cheongsam Wild Rose

Yan Ci, who was only 24 years old, was already holding the Fei Tian Award and the Golden and Best Actor Award. He could be said to be the youngest Best Actor in history.

It was fine if he only had outstanding acting skills, but the key was that this person was also a top celebrity in the entertainment industry.

The word “traffic” had been very controversial since it appeared. On the one hand, it symbolized the popularity of celebrities. On the other hand, there was also a hidden meaning that celebrities only had popularity and no ability.

Top-notch traffic meant top-notch popularity. Correspondingly, if an artiste’s morals were not good enough, they would be attacked by many anti-fans.

Yan Ci could be said to be the only artiste in the entertainment industry who was regarded as a top-notch celebrity. At the same time, he would not be mocked for his ability and not be worthy of popularity.

Back then, when he debuted as a beautiful man, he was supported by fans because of his handsome appearance and outstanding singing and dancing ability.

Just as people in the industry scolded him for relying on his face to make a living and leading the entertainment industry astray, Yan Ci turned around and won the Fei Tian Award with a spy drama.

And he had won this award not only in name, but also in reality. The spy war drama he had starred in back then had swept through all the major television stations and video platforms, forming a phenomenal “explosive”.

From then on, Yan Ci became more and more popular. He was only 24 years old, but he had already become a role model in the entertainment industry. Now, if they wanted to ask him to film a drama, they would have to pay an astronomical price. They might not even be able to hire him.

Li Heng swallowed his saliva. He would never have thought that Yan Ci would participate in this drama.

“Shall we start the audition?” Yan Ci smiled. After receiving Li Heng’s approval, he began the audition.

The Best Actor was indeed the Best Actor. He easily brought everyone present into the character scene.

After the audition, everyone was immersed in Yan Ci’s passionate speech for a long time. They felt the hot blood in their chests surging.

Li Heng decided on the spot to cast Yan Ci. Fortunately, his assistant still had some rationality. He gently pulled Li Heng’s sleeve. “Director, our entire budget isn’t enough for Yan Ci.”

Only then did Li Heng calm down. That’s right, I can’t afford to hire him. (italics)

As if he knew Li Heng’s concerns, Yan Ci smiled humbly. “Director, I came for the audition because I value the script. I don’t care about the remuneration. Just give me the amount you decided to give. There’s no need to worry.”

At this moment, Li Heng looked at Yan Ci as if he was looking at a golden phoenix. He immediately pulled Yan Ci’s manager and signed the contract, afraid that the golden phoenix would fly away if he was late.

“Then let’s work together happily. Go and have a meal and rest first. Let’s take this opportunity to take a publicity photo. The female lead will be coming over in the afternoon. You guys meet first.”

Li Heng rarely paid attention to gossip, so he did not know that Yan Ci and Xia Wanyuan had once had a scandal.

Upon hearing Li Heng’s words, Yan Ci’s gaze flickered, but his expression remained calm and gentle. “Okay, Director.”

Not long after Yan Ci signed the contract, the official Weibo account of “Moon As Frost” released the official announcement.

Then, the power of Yan Ci’s top traffic showed. Weibocompletely exploded.

Weibo programmer: I’m so tired. Really. I shouldn’t have come to this place from the beginning. If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have been bald. I’m sorry about my hair.

[ I suspect that I didn’t bring my eyes when I went out today. Does Yan Ci want to take on such a drama with no production team? ]

[ Oh my god!! Hubby, what’s wrong with you? Why did you take on this role? ]

[ I didn’t expect you to film with Xia Wanyuan. Do you still remember the scandal between Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci?? F*ck, it can’t be true, right? Otherwise, I really can’t think of any reason to convince myself that Yan Ci would actually accept such a lousy drama. ]

[ Baby, wake up!!!!! What kind of lousy script is this! I protest! Did the studio force you to accept it?! I’m going to kill the studio. They don’t even have a conscience for the sake of money! What kind of lousy script is this for my baby? ]

[ I’ve convinced myself countless times in my heart, but I really can’t find a reason for my idol to accept this drama. Other than the fact that my idol went for Xia Wanyuan, oh my god, if that’s the case, I really have to stop being a fan immediately. I can’t bear this painful blow. ]

There were wails on Weibo. The power of Yan Ci was too great, causing waves of discussion.

Together with Yang Jiu’s novel “Moon As Frost” that few people knew, the sales suddenly increased. Everyone wanted to see what the original drama Yan Ci acted in was like.

The contract had already been signed. No matter how much controversy there was online, the filming of the production team was proceeding in an orderly manner.

After lunch, Yan Ci waited in the film studio. The weather was a little hot now, so he sat under the big tree and read his lines.

There was a sudden commotion not far away. Yan Ci looked up. Even he, who saw many beauties of the entertainment industry, could not help but be stunned for a moment.

Since it was a drama about the country, Xia Wanyuan’s appearance was in the style of the country. At this moment, her hair was tied into a bun behind her head with a hairpin inserted diagonally, exuding a hint of ancient charm. She was wearing a cheongsam with bright red hundred flowers carved on it, revealing her rather charming figure.

Xia Wanyuan held an oil paper umbrella. When she looked back, it made one forget the heat of the summer, as if they were brought into the hazy mist of Jiangnan by her eyes.

A text message sounded. Yan Ci seemed to have snapped out of his daze and lowered his head to open the message.

“Thank you for your help. If there’s anything in the future, just tell me.”

The sender was Fu Li.

Yan Ci quickly typed a few lines of words and sent them out. “Senior Brother, you’re too kind. The script is very good and the drama is also very good. It’s not a trouble.”

Yan Ci had come because he owed Fu Li a favor. Fu Li had done him a great favor and had never asked him for anything. This was the only time Fu Li had asked him if he could help support the male lead.

He flipped through the script and realized that the script was not bad, so he came over. However, he felt that he had made the right decision to come.

Perhaps in the end, it would not be him who drove this drama, but the drama that would make him successful again.

Yan Ci also changed into his costume and walked to Xia Wanyuan. “Hello.” Yan Ci took the initiative to greet Xia Wanyuan, who nodded with a faint gaze.

Yan Ci felt strange. This was too different from the Xia Wanyuan in his impression.

Yan Ci had a strong aura. Li Heng was originally worried that Xia Wanyuan would be suppressed by him, but he didn’t expect that during the photo shoot, Xia Wanyuan would bring out the aura of the female lead, a wild rose in the sea. Not only was she not suppressed by Yan Ci’s aura, but she also became the highlight of the entire scene.

By the time the filming ended, the night had already turned hazy. The clothes on Xia Wanyuan were all custom-made qipao that Mu Feng had prepared for her. There was no need to return them to the production team.

The filming was too tiring, so Xia Wanyuan was too lazy to remove her makeup and change her clothes. She wore a cheongsam and walked out of the base.

Not far away, the familiar Phantom slowly drove towards her.

Chapter 314: You’re Torturing Me Again

“I’ve received news that the Poisonous Scorpion No.1 has been successfully tested.”

Looking at the faintly shining words on the computer, Jun Shiling’s expression turned a little cold. This Old K had developed too quickly.

After typing a few words and wiping away the traces of the email, Jun Shiling looked up at the film studio and was stunned.

The high collar accentuated Xia Wanyuan’s slender neck, and her fair legs were faintly visible as she walked.

He had felt how good Xia Wanyuan’s figure was when he hugged her, but it was not as stunning as it looked now. The close-fitting cheongsam outlined every curve perfectly.

The bright red cheongsam made her look like a passionate rose, flamboyant and wanton.

“Aren’t you busy today?” While Jun Shiling was still in a daze, Xia Wanyuan had already pulled open the car door and sat in, bringing with her a fragrance.

“I’m fine.” Jun Shiling swallowed and looked out of the window, not looking at Xia Wanyuan carefully.

“I’m a little sleepy.” Xia Wanyuan yawned. The journey from the base to the manor was still quite long. Xia Wanyuan leaned on the back of the chair and quickly fell asleep.

Jun Shiling turned around and glanced at Xia Wanyuan’s face with makeup, then at the exquisite floral buttons. His eyes were deep.

Xia Wanyuan’s head moved slightly, and Jun Shiling moved closer to her. Xia Wanyuan naturally leaned on Jun Shiling’s shoulder.

Everywhere Jun Shiling looked was shockingly white. He had to close his eyes and recover.

However, the problem of Xia Wanyuan finding a pillow after sleeping did not change under her complete trust in Jun Shiling. Instead, she became even more impudent and snuggled into Jun Shiling’s arms.

Jun Shiling suddenly opened his eyes, which were flushed red.

Jun Shiling lowered his head to look at Xia Wanyuan, who was still sleepy. He put down his raised hands and sighed deeply.

This woman is really…

Xia Wanyuan slept very well. When she woke up, the car was already parked in the manor, and she was hugging Jun Shiling’s waist. Jun Shiling’s eyes were closed, as if he had slept very soundly.

Xia Wanyuan let go of Jun Shiling’s waist. Jun Shiling, who had thought that he was asleep, reached out to stop Xia Wanyuan, not letting her hand leave.

“58 minutes.” Jun Shiling’s eyes were still closed.

“What?” Xia Wanyuan raised her eyebrows in confusion.

“You tortured me for 58 minutes again.” Jun Shiling finally opened his eyes. The obvious burning desire in them burned Xia Wanyuan’s eyes.

“…” Xia Wanyuan had been too familiar with this gaze of Jun Shiling’s recently.

“Let’s go. Get out of the car.” Unexpectedly, Jun Shiling did not want to do anything. Instead, he held Xia Wanyuan’s arm and prepared to get out of the car.

Xia Wanyuan was still a little stunned. She had thought that Jun Shiling was going to do something to make her blush again.

“Why, are you looking forward to something?” Sensing Xia Wanyuan’s shock, the corners of Jun Shiling’s lips curled up slightly, and his other hand tightened.

“No, let’s go down.” Xia Wanyuan hurriedly got out of the car.

Jun Shiling looked at her from behind. He wanted to do something, but he was afraid that he could not control his overflowing thoughts.

——

The official Weibo account of “Moon As Frost” was about to be overturned by the fans. Even Yan Ci’s studio’s Weibo was criticized by the fans.

Seeing that the situation was turning more and more intense, the production team of “Moon As Frost” tidied up the publicity photos overnight. Then, the next morning, the official Weibo account of “Moon As Frost” released a set of publicity photos. When they saw it, everyone was stunned.

Chapter 315: Face Slapping in a Drama

In the past two days, the novel “Moon As Frost” that no one had been interested in had been sold out. Be it Yan Ci’s nearly ten million fans, Xia Wanyuan’s fans, or passers-by who were watching the fun, they had all bought this novel with curiosity.

After reading the novel, everyone had a high evaluation of it.

Yang Jiu’s “Moon Like Frost”, was written based on the most dazzling red rose in Shanghai about her entire life with the male lead, Chu Pingjiang, during the chaotic times.

It was different from ordinary novels in the China that portrayed national justice, but in fact, it was different from romantic love.

Yang Jiu’s novel was really depicting how ordinary people with all kinds of human weaknesses in that era of war strengthened their ideals step by step and threw themselves into the battlefield country to fight for the Chinese.

In the novel, the most memorable person was the arrogant and willful wild rose “Qin Manyue” in Shanghai, as well as the cold-blooded and cruel professor, Chu Pingjiang, who was actually the captain of the special forces team and appeared gentle on the surface.

The novel had a high meaning and was tragic and passionate. After reading it, one would be intoxicated by the turbulent and hot-blooded era that Yang Jiu had portrayed.

At that moment, the few photos released by the production team of “Moon As Frost” made people feel as if they had really returned to that hot-blooded era and seen those two brilliant and beautiful people.

The first picture was of the Shanghai Theater. The red rose “Qin Manyue” was wearing heavy makeup and a red cheongsam. The black veil covered half of her face as she looked lazily at the audience below the stage, as if everything in the world was not in her eyes.

The second picture was a photo of Yan Ci’s drama. This photo was divided into two scenes on the left and right. On the left, Chu Pingjiang, who was dressed in a long robe, was holding a book and standing in the classroom with a gentle smile as he taught. The sunlight outside the window shone on him at the right time.

On the right, Chu Pingjiang, who was dressed in a military uniform, was hidden in the darkness. At that moment, the corners of his lips were pursed tightly. His entire body was in a state of alertness. The muzzle of the gun could be vaguely seen on the sleeve of his right hand.

The third picture was a two-person photo.

In front of the ancient windows, Qin Manyue leaned lazily against the wall and looked at Chu Pingjiang flirtatiously. At that moment, Chu Pingjiang was dressed in military uniform and staring at Qin Manyue with a sharp expression.

Although she was smiling as she looked into Chu Pingjiang’s eyes, in this picture, Xia Wanyuan’s aura did not show any signs of weakening. As the two of them looked at each other, they were filled with an intense tension.

It made one wonder what had happened between the two of them.

[ Mommy duck, it looks a little good. ]

[ The person in front, be more confident and remove the ‘a little’. This is too beautiful. I’m indeed a dog for looks. I actually feel that I can look forward to ‘Moon As Frost’ now. ]

[ As expected, my fans are right. I knew that Yan Ci wouldn’t accept a drama for no reason. Look at this drama photo. This time, Yan Ci is going to challenge a two-faced characters. I’m looking forward to it! ]

[ A teacher in a long gown, a two-faced military officer with a gun. Oh my god!!! This is too exciting!!! Hubby, I’ll give my life to you! ]

[ You’re all looking at Yan Ci. Then I’ll quietly carry Xia Wanyuan away. How did she grow? She’s too beautiful. If she stands there, she’ll be a living red rose in Shanghai. ]

[ The person in front, put her down. Xia Wanyuan is mine! ]
